Subject: PLEASE REPLY IMMEDIATELY
Dear Friend,
I want to transfer US$35 Million dollars to your custody. I got your contact
through a desperate and personal search on the web for someone I could
really trust as I have prayed over it and I wish to express my interest to
handle this matter with you as I believe that you are reliable in handling
these type of international transaction.
I am Oseh Igweanyiba, an Orphan to Late Major Zuma Igweanyiba. I am 24 years
old and presently I am residing in The Gambia as refuge. My father Major
Zuma Igweanyiba was a top Congolese soldier and the Assistant Adjutant
General of the Armed Forces of the Democratic Republic of Congo, and special
adviser on arms control and acquisition to the former President Late
Laurent Kabila who was assassinated by his body guard on the 9Th of January
2001.
After the death of the President, my father escaped to The Gambia with me
and a sealed box through the West African Coastal waters but most
unfortunately my father also died of heart attack here in The Gambia last
month leaving only me now as my mother has earlier died during a child
birth.
Before my father's death, he confided in me about the existence of USD$35
Million (thirty five million US dollars) which is contained in the sealed
box and of which he deposited on our arrival with a foreign fictitious name
in a security company here as a family treasure for security reasons.
I was told by my father that he made the money from the huge amount mapped
out by the former president for the importation of ammunition's to fight the
rebels, the certificate of deposit was handed over to me so that I can claim
the fund with any reliable foreigner and as a matter of fact, I am seeking
in confidence a God fearing and a reliable foreigner who will assist me to
move the fund out from the security company and transfer it to the person's
foreign bank account for safe keeping and immediate foreign investment to
secure my future and because I believe that you are reliable and
trustworthy, I am soliciting for your help and co-operation to execute the
business with me.
Your assistance as a foreigner is needed because the management of the
security company is ready to welcome any foreigner who has correct
information and documents of the fund which I will give to you and I will
arrange for my travelling to your country after a successful business so as
to make use of the money for investment.
I have agreed to offer you 30% of the total sum for helping me and
additional 5% for any expenses which you might incur as a result of this
transaction including travelling, accommodation and other sundry expenses,
so if you are interested in the business kindly reply immediately and more
details will be furnished to you on receipt of your reply and remember this
business required absolute secret and confidentiality and I hope you will
treat it as such. Enclose your private phone and fax lines for confidential
purposes and further communication.
Please,consider this and get back to me as soon as possible to enable me
give you the full information's that will be needed but please if my
proposal do not suit your interest please confirm to me as to enable me
solicit for another person and I want you to know that the security Company
is ready to move the fund by diplomatic immunity through diplomatic
channel to your country so that you can sign and receive the fund in cash so
you dont need to worry to come down here if you are ready to help me.
I am looking forward to the courtesy of your reply. Thanks for your
anticipated co- operations.
Yours sincerely,
Oseh W. Igweanyiba.
